u-blox: Bluetooth 5.1 module enables mesh networking for massive IoT applications
u-blox has specified Nordic’s nRF52833 Bluetooth Low Energy SoC to power its NINA-B4 stand-alone Bluetooth 5.1 modules.
The small (10x15x2.2 mm) Bluetooth LE/Bluetooth 5.1 MCU modules with open CPU architecture are optimized for, and can be supplied preinstalled with, Wirepas Massive (previously Wirepas Mesh), a decentralized large-scale mesh networking solution. Wirepas Massive has been developed by global software connectivity company Wirepas, and is designed for a wide array of massive Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The u-blox NINA-B4 series includes the NINA-B406, which comes with an internal PCB antenna and NINA-B400, which integrates a U.FL connector for use with an external antenna of the developer’s choice.
The NINA-B4 module is suitable for running Wirepas Massive, an updated version of Wirepas’s proprietary mesh connectivity software. The module is also able to run third-party device applications alongside the Wirepas protocol.
Wirepas Massive can be deployed in smart tracking, smart logistics, smart building, smart industry, and smart metering applications, or whenever there is a need for large-scale industrial-grade network deployments.
